We're keeping students learning both in and out of the classroom.
Explore the department's Learning remotely resources to support both online and offline learning for all students.
In the event of a short return to remote learning, please refer to the information below for instructions on learning from home. If we are required at any time to return to remote learning parents and students will be notified by email.
Behaviour Expectations
Like learning in a classroom, we still have high expectations of students when we are working online. Our PBL values of "Respecting others and the community", "Acting responsibly" and "Participating productively in learning" have been expanded below to explain what our expectations are when we are working remotely.
Wellbeing
Our wellbeing staff are still able to help you throughout this time. Year Advisers will use the Google Classrooms for your year group to communicate information and to answer questions you might have. You can also contact your Year Adviser by leaving a message with the front office. Our Head Teacher Wellbeing, Girls, Boys and LGBTQI+ Advisers and the School Counsellors are also able to provide support. If you need to speak to a School Counsellor, please leave a message at the front office.
Year Meetings
During Wellbeing Wednesday in Week 1, Year Advisers will host a virtual Year Meeting. This will be a way for Year Advisers to provide some information about online learning and wellbeing supports, and for students to check in and ask any questions they may have. Your Wellbeing Wednesday teachers will also be virtually present. The Year Meeting will occur on Wednesday period 2, in the year groups Google Classrooms. Your Year Adviser will direct your to resources each week on our Wellbeing Wednesday website.
